BAZOB-BLADE-SHABPENING DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, SOLOMON I. FISCHER andMISCHEL Kono'rrr, citizens of the residing at New York, in the county ofNew York and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Razor-Blade-Sharpening De vices; and we do declare thefollowin' to be a full clear, and exact description the f gitudinallyrelative to each other,

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of thischaracter which will be simple, strong, durable'and inexpen-' sivetomanufacture, efficient and reliable in operation, and well adapted tothe purpose for which it is designed.

From the o'regomg, it maybe readily seen that the objects of theinvention-have been effectively carried out. It is to be noted iio" Y vthat a made my be "easil and aced in the holder-or removed therefrom,and owing to the fact that there are no projecting parts, the razor'strop will not be injured while stropping thesame. The construction issuch that it may be used as a holder fora blade while shaving, unless itis desired to use tion with a safety razor, forwhich it was intended.

As various changesin form and proportion may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the-spirit of thisinvention', Wedo not wish to belimitedto the construction herein shown and described other than thatset forth in the appended claims.
